“If they want to be as powerful as Manchester City, then they need to appoint this particular manager.” Christiano Ronaldo identifies the only person in charge who has the ability to fully transform Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent remarks were directed at the Glazer family, who had hoped his return to Manchester United would rejuvenate the team. Unfortunately, this strategy did not meet expectations. Shortly after Ronaldo rejoined the club, the Glazers began contemplating a sale and seeking new investment options.

Approximately 13 months later, Ineos, under the leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, made a significant investment in Manchester United, marking the start of a vigorous campaign to revitalize the club both on and off the field. With Ineos at the helm, Manchester United has embarked on a new phase of development.

One of Ineos’s initial moves was to revamp the club’s approach to the transfer market, with a renewed emphasis on crucial infrastructure projects that are vital for the club’s advancement.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has outlined ambitious plans for Manchester United, including the potential construction of a new 100,000-seat stadium. Additionally, upgrades to the Carrington training ground are underway to bring it up to the standards expected of a premier football club.

Ronaldo had previously criticized the club’s facilities during a 2022 interview, pointing out that there had been no significant improvements between his departure in 2009 and his return in 2021. In a recent conversation with Rio Ferdinand, as reported by The Sun, Ronaldo expressed his approval of the ongoing enhancements by Ineos. He acknowledged that while Manchester United is a leading club globally, it required extensive updates.

Ronaldo commended the substantial changes taking place, including improvements in structure, leadership, and infrastructure, specifically noting the work at Carrington. Despite his earlier frustrations, Ronaldo recognized that some issues are beyond individual control but remained hopeful about the club’s progress and future prospects.
